In today’s economy people are wondering what extra steps they should be taking in order to land that dream job of theirs, or even just to land A job in general. There are so many candidates going for the same job that many people feel they should practically be able to perform nuclear fusion in order to secure the job above everyone else.

Match the culture: Remember that advice about dressing one level above the job you’re hiring into? Or the “it’s better to be over-dressed” advice? Forget that. Dress so that you’ll fit in. Dress as if you’re already on the team.
Read up on the start-up of the company, know all there is to know about them and where they have been in their start-up so far. That way when being interviewed you will be able to show that you did your homework and are truly interested in their purpose.
The team for hiring a start-up employee wants to know that they are taking on someone who can “get things done” effectively and timely.
